Abstract: The long-term recording of stranded and dead sea turtle individuals in those critical habitats is crucial for management and restoration action planning. In Mexico, some multiple-year operating conservation programs count with a long-term sea turtle mortality database, as in Campeche, Mexico, where some of the largest hawksbill nesting populations in the West Atlantic reside. This dataset is a historic reference baseline about the spatiotemporal mortality patterns of the imperiled sea turtle species in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, showing their interactions with anthropogenic activities and circumstances that jeopardize their population recovery.
